Cool dude, Mission Beach, California, 2015

He seems to emerge from an enormous wave. It dwarfs him in scale. He pays it no heed. He is the very picture of a “cool dude,” a phrase originally used within the surfing culture. He strokes his hair with one hand, while maintaining his balance with the other. This gesture of calm self-confidence, paired with his indifference to the massive wave that seems to be chasing him, provide a double incongruity, while his gleaming wet suit complements his impressive entrance.

Thanks for noting the tapering wave that echoes his path through the water, Tim. I love the way he arranges his hair as he charges through the water.

I like the way the height of the wave tapers into the direction he's headed.
